Tess Anderson’s “Prison” has an invigorating spirit to it. The track quite vividly and excitingly captures and imagines this deep rooted struggle of breaking free from societal constraints, instead choosing to live life on one’s own terms. Contrasting its upbeat production, the track’s lyrics delve deep into the pain and discomfort that comes with fighting against what the outside throws onto you and embracing your inner expression. Anderson’s vocals steal the show, vividly and vulnerably expressing herself to the best of her abilities.
With a unique sonic blend of singer-songwriter and alt-rock element, there’s a uniqueness to the sound that exquisitely breaks down the dichotomy of conformity against self-expression and individuality. “Prison” is an anthem of a song, one that defiantly has you up and in a mood to launch a battle cry. For those who feel cast down or lost or simply repressed, it will have you back on your feet in no time.
